Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2011 Overview
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to collect prevalence data on risk behaviors and preventive health practices that affect health status. In 1987 the South Dakota Department of Health conducted its first BRFSS via telephone. In 2011, the BRFSS data collection method incorporated cell phone users for the first time, and in turn the sampling meth-odology was changed, therefore 2011 data cannot be compared to previous years. In South Dakota, 88% of the 8,259 respondents in 2011 were landline users and 12% were cell phone users. This article provides a brief review of some of the data available in the 2011 BRFSS report found at http://doh.sd.gov/statistics/2011BRFSS.
